About

My interest in art began as a child and growing up I spent much of my time drawing and painting. Following this leading I went on to study Fine Art at both the Gordon Institute of TAFE in Geelong and at the University of Ballarat (Federation Uni) in the mid 1990’s.

Following on from this, in 2016 I completed a post graduate degree in Visual Communication Design at Deakin University. In addition to my art and design training, I also hold a Bachelor Degree in Business Management.

Over the years I have had numerous group and solo exhibitions and have been commissioned by various clients to produce original artwork ranging from portraits to wildlife.

In 2017 I began a picture book illustration mentorship with author/illustrator Sue deGennaro as I have a very keen interest in illustrating picture books and educational materials for children. I am also inspired by our native Australian wildlife and in particular the birds of the Geelong region. These areas are wonderfully satisfying for an artist because of their diversity, the level of creative skill they demand, and their capacity to educate, inspire and bring joy to the viewer.

I use a range of media and techniques to create my artwork, including coloured pencil, graphite, watercolour, ink and gouache and my style can be described as detailed, classic and realistic.

I have a range of greeting cards and fine art prints of original works available via my online shop tab or I can be contacted directly to arrange an order.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss a private commission.
